A SUICIDE bomber riding a motorcycle has killed two Afghan defence ministry staffers and wounded at least nine others by ramming a bus carrying soldiers and civilians returning home from work.

General Kadam Shah Sheem, Kabul military commander, said on Monday the bombing happened in eastern Kabul and targeted a bus full of officers, soldiers and defence ministry staff that had just left a nearby military base. He said one of the dead was an officer and the other a civilian.
